Product Reviews

Write your review here: I constructed a 30' cross on our church property out of an old, worn and splintered telephone pole. I purchased 8' of 2 Manila rope to simulate the cross beam lashing to the main post. It looks very old and authentic. Thanks Knot & Rope for your quality product and fast shipping.

What are you using this item for? Added realism to an old cross.

"Measure twice, cut once"

Lisa Kessler on 4/19/2017 12:51:52 PM

Write your review here: The quality of this rope is fine. However, I'm not sure about the people in charge of cutting it. Ordered 20'...received 17'4. I left the rope out to dry for several days before I measured it to be sure it was dry and as long as it was going to get. Good thing I didn't need exactly 20'. I would be much angrier than I am. Anyway, the rope is really nice and my macaws love to chew on it.

"Rush Order, Great Product & Service"

Molly Yee on 4/25/2016 8:34:34 AM

Write your review here: I needed some 2" manila rope for a wedding last minute and was not able to find any of the material locally. I contacted a few other online vendors for the same product and they were not willing to help me, even though I was willing to pay the higher price of overnight shipping. I called Knot & Rope Supply and the woman I spoke to was very nice and said she would get my order out that same day. Ordering on their website was very easy and overnight/expedited shipping options were readily available and actually very reasonable. I completed my order and received it the next day. Although I do not recommend needing to overnight anything, my experience with Knot & Rope Supply eliminated my stress in such a desperate situation. The 2" manila rope is great quality and was perfect for our wedding application.

"Above and beyond customer service"

Brandon Broitman on 11/6/2015 4:50:28 PM

Write your review here: I had placed an order for 2" rope on the website for a costume I was making for halloween. At the end of the ordering process, I had used the "special requests" section to ask if some sort of tassel could be added to each end of the rope and sent a link to a picture of the costume I was making. Craig saw this request, opened the picture and immediately noticed that what I had ordered would not work for my halloween costume that I was attempting to make. Craig called me and informed me of this and got me the right size and length rope that I would need. Going above and beyond, Craig went down into the warehouse and sized it out while on the phone with me. The product worked for my costume perfectly and I cannot stress how great the customer service and experience was. I'd give these guys 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Thanks so much!

"Love this Rope"

Adele Leake on 11/3/2015 10:27:19 PM

Write your review here: We recently moved into a newer home. When our TV was mounted above our fireplace, the installer covered the cords with white plastic cord hider. My husband painted the cord hider to match the wall colorbut we were unable to get a perfect color match....So I ordered 7 ft. of the 2" manila rope to sit on the fireplace mantel to hide the cord hider-it worked perfectly...and looks attractive, too. A great fix for an unexpected problem.

"Backyard Climbing Rope"

Alexander Pendleton on 9/11/2015 12:34:35 PM

Write your review here: Great product. My only problem is I ordered too short, given how much rope the knot took, when working with rope this thick. It would be nice if K&R Supply also sold a climbing rope bracket, that would enable one to easily secure the rope to a tree, without having to use a lot of rope for a knot. Thanks.

"Short and Sweet"

Joshua Meidell on 8/1/2015 8:44:44 PM

Write your review here: Cannot find anything negative to write about. I wanted an unusually short (13') length of thick rope for isometric grip strength training, and that is exactly what I got. Fast shipping, helpful staff, rope was in as good a condition as manila can be (it's a little 'hairy', though that is just how manila is). I highly, highly recommend getting a custom length from these guys for anyone interested in strength training purposes, for any length: don't buy the gym-specific brand-name crap; it's exactly the same as this stuff, just cheaper. Manila isn't cheap, but these guys have the best prices that I can find. Besides, 2" manila is pretty uncommon. Most iron-head gym-rats are too scared of /real/ grip work and stay with 1.5". Good stuff, no complaints at all.

"Art project - large decorative blood knot"

Cara Horrocks on 5/29/2015 7:36:27 PM

Write your review here: I used this rope to tie a very VERY large blood knot to hang on the wall above my bed (we tied a blood knot with much smaller rope during our wedding ceremony). The rope arrived quickly, in great shape and worked perfectly for my needs.

Freight Shipments - What You Need to Know

At Knot & Rope Supply we take pride in being able to handle any type of shipping and the logistics to get shipments to the right place at the right time.

A lot of that shipping is done by FedEx utilizing services like Ground, Home Delivery or by using an expedited service like 2 Day or Overnight. Sometimes though, we need to ship using truck freight. If that's the case, it will probably ship using LTL.

Our standard carrier is FedEx Freight LTL. The "LTL" stands for "Less Than Truckload." Basically it means that since your shipment probably isn't going to take up an entire 53' long semi truck trailer you can save money shipping your items among multiple shipments on one truck. FedEx Freight is one of the top companies in LTL shipments and has an exceptional record of getting your shipment to you quickly and without damage. Since FedEx is also the preferred carrier for our Ground and Express shipments, we receive a significant freight discount which, in turn, saves you money.

LTL vs. Ground - Which one?

Some orders require truck freight shipment in order to get to their destination. Generally this happens if the shipment is over 150 lbs. Circumstances include:

If your order has to be shipped in one continuous section and that section weighs more than 150 lbs.

The total amount of rope you need (on spools, in boxes, etc.) exceeds 150 lbs.

Or for whatever reason, it's less expensive or faster to use truck freight

OK, my order is shipping by LTL, now what?

Shipping by truck freight is something we do every single day here, so there's nothing to worry about. Here is how it works...

When your order is placed - either online or with one of our customer service representatives - we can determine if we need to ship by truck freight. If we determine the shipment qualifies for freight we let you know while you are placing the order on the phone, or we will call you after you place a web order.

When we speak with you concerning shipment details we will confirm the shipping address. Whenever possible we prefer to ship to a commercial address with a loading dock (or to an address that has a forklift to unload the truck) as opposed to a home address. The reason, as you might guess, is that it's a lot easier to get a semi truck to a commercial location rather than a home in a residential area. In addition, if we have to ship it on a semi truck it likely is pretty heavy and will require a method (like a liftgate) to unload the pallet from the truck. For this reason, there is a surcharge of $130 to deliver to a residential address.

If you are a homeowner and your shipment requires truck freight, there are some ways to get around the residential surcharge. One way is to contact a friend or neighbor in your area that has a company with a loading dock that can accept a freight shipment. If that isn't an option, an additional way is to have your order shipped to your local FedEx Freight terminal. You would then need to drive there to pick it up, but they don't charge extra for this and when your shipment arrives they will contact you so that you can pick it up from them. They typically will have a forklift available to load the freight into your truck or trailer. Many of the FedEx Freight terminals are within an easy drive of 80% of our residential customers, making this a popular option.

If, however, you still want the shipment delivered to your house it can be accomplished for the above mentioned surcharge of $130.

Once the shipping details are finalized, our team goes to work getting your shipment ready. We will ship the items on a pallet (sometimes referred to as a "skid") and will secure your rope firmly with shipping bands and/or shrink wrap. Sometimes we can coil the rope directly to the skid, sometimes the shipment is multiple spools of rope or boxes. Either way it will be secure and ready to go.

Shipping information - including address, item weight and any special services or shipping instructions - is then sent to FedEx. Completing this data entry results in a bill of lading with a tracking number unique to your shipment. This number is also sometimes referred to as a PRO number. The PRO number then gets sent to you via email. We'll load the skid or skids on the FedEx truck and the driver immediately attaches a barcode to your shipment for their internal tracking.

Extra services you can get with LTL

FedEx Freight LTL shipping offers some extra services for customers with special requirements and/or those that want some special attention for their deliveries.

These services include:

LIFTGATE DELIVERY $123-$406 Liftgates are great because they allow the truck driver to lower the shipment to ground level. Commercial shipments rarely need this option as they have forklifts and loading docks. Residential customers, however, sometimes opt for this since it makes it a lot easier to get a heavy skid down to the ground.

LIMITED ACCESS DELIVERY $130 This is an additional mandatory charge for delivery to construction sites, mines, churches, schools and farms.

NOTIFICATION PRIOR TO DELIVERY $55 This option can be purchased if you want a phone call before your shipment arrives. This DOES NOT guarantee the time the shipment will arrive, it just means they will call you BEFORE it arrives. Remember, when you order from us we email you a tracking number that you can use to obtain a delivery date via the FedEx website. Generally they try to get everything on the truck delivered by noon so they can go around and make pickups. So essentially, if you know what day it will be delivered, you can probably know it will be to you before noon, thereby, putting your $44.77 to better use.

RESIDENTIAL DELIVERY $130 Each address in the USA is classified as either "Commercial" or "Residential." Having a home business DOES NOT count as a commercial address.
Sorry, we don't decide this, United States Postal Office does.

AM DELIVERY $100 If you require your delivery by 10:30 AM on the scheduled delivery day, purchasing this option will put you first in line.

These charges are uniform throughout the trucking industry. Everyone charges similarly for these additional services.

Also, we have absolutely no problem if you want to coordinate your own freight shipments. We would be happy to receive your BOL and prepare your shipment.

Want to pick it up here at our shop? Feel free, our courteous and professional staff can get you loaded up without any extra fee.

As always, if you have any questions feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help. We can be reached at 419-873-8300 or by e-mail at customerservice@knotandrope.com
